Uddipana, I've read your book on train on the day I told you. I though I would make comment in details. But, got busy with so many involvment one after another that I failed to do so. In short I can say that these were superb! You got your own diction and language, which I think you need to adress both the Assamese at the same time other Indian Readers who might have very littele knowledge about the land and people. Some where both of us think in the same way about the land and people. Sicnce I'm not easy with English I missed a few word meaning. But , I think I've grasped the sense. I would love to translate some of your poems in Bengali.
